Good afternoon, everyone.

Hope you were watching that race with your notepad?
If he'd been one place higher I'd've had a three figure* win.
*I appreciate others here play with three figure stakes, but I don't, and I had especially small stakes on the Force India/Haas bets.
I'd backed the Haas chaps for podiums as well but didn't do that for the Force India.
I did finish ahead overall, thanks to backing one of your tips and also the intra-team shenanigans late on. But to get so close, again, with a long odds bet and not quite get there is a bit frustrating.
Exciting end to the race, though.

Reporting on the behind-the-scenes planning.
There is to be a vote, i think next week, to effectively stop the 'No Deal' option which the hardest Brexiteers secretly long for as that means WTO and no arrangements whatsoever.
For what it's worth, I think they'll just have no further action. Giving a time penalty in such circumstances would be very controversial and probably unfair (the matter should've been settled during the race and I have no idea why it wasn't).
Edited extra bit: Mr. Sandpit, and yet I offer my expertise with no need for a subscription!

Mattis says the US is ready to discuss withdrawal from the Korean peninsula.
If it makes you feel better, in the past I've had people misunderstand my top 3 in qualifying tips before to make money on people getting a podium.
Just working out my spreadsheet now, I think Grosjean binning it behind the safety car turned my race from green to red.
There was no citation of the research, sample size or sample period. Very shoddy I thought
Safety car 1.25. £20 £25
Class U15.5 1.75. £10 £17.5
1st lap LAY SV 1.37 £10 £0
Raikkonen win 22 £5 £0
Hartley pts 7 £5 £0
Gasly pts 7 £5 £0
Grosjean pts 5 £10 £0
TOTAL £65 £42.50 (£22,50)
If Raikkonen gets any kind of time penalty, the Perez bet comes off. Tiny sum, but it'd be a 401 each way (effectively 133 or so) winner. However, I really don't think it'll happen.
Congrats on Hartley. I wonder what odds Leclerc was. I know McLaren were 5 for another double points finish.
Edited extra bit: just seen this from the BBC livefeed: "Perez has been summoned to the stewards about alleged illegal DRS use. So watch this space."
Buckingham University vice-chancellor Sir Anthony Seldon said institutions were "failing students on drugs".

So kids will do it despite it being illegal, but won't do it if they sign his bit of paper?

Edit: it's not all uncommon for a party to come second in votes, but first in seats in a borough.
A 5s penalty for Perez will demote him to 6th, behind Vettel, Saint and Leclerc who will all move up

And have indeed faced verbal attack - why would they not? As fewer people than should have knew from the start, the vagueness of the referendum question meant that the battle for the type of brexit was inevitable.
It’s gonna be late before bets get settled here!

Staggering that Red Bull has a 50% DNF rate. Haas have thrown away almost as many points. And Bottas should be top of the drivers' race.
This is the youngest Arsenal starting eleven (average age 24y 67d) in a Premier League game since August 2011.
Don't they know you can never win anything with kids?
Have you already done so? If not, may I suggest that the shrewdness of the observation was not matched by your action in making it public...

The 2016 referendum was about the European Union
Remember Hamilton lost a nailed on win last year as his headrest was insuffieciently nailed on...
"Rudd remains perplexed by increase in salary in July 2016"
Thank goodness for lawyers!
Mr. B, that's true. As for Perez, apparently there's a precedent for no serious penalty and it didn't make any difference.
Any statements we can get to the contrary from May?
Is (paraphrasing slightly) "we believe it is possible to increase the level of forced deportations by 10% over the next few years", an ambition or a target?
Is it a throwaway line indicating what she believes is possible, or is it a target against which she should be judged?

Avengers: Infinity War - 8/11
Star Wars: Han Solo Prequel - 11/4
Tbh, I rather like Solo for the #1 spot at those odds. Star Wars consistently beats Marvel in the UK. Having said which, I think Infinity War is a particularly strong Marvel film and Solo not quite as strong a Star Wars draw.
So the ~1/5.5 which you can get by combining them was my bet. No way anything else beats both of them.
